Seeing Dedf1sh—I mean, Acht in that elevator, it lit something in me. Literally, they’re just a sanitized octoling and yet I’m acting like a damn dog. I’m barking right now. And that skin tight dress wasn’t helping.
I made repeated glances at Acht while they talked to Agent 8 and the robot that basically acted like a mini Pearl, considering that she wasn’t actually here. Just as soon as they stopped talking, they looked over at me.
Though, something tells me—I don’t think they like me. I feel like they looked at me and cringed out of spite. Actually no, basically on instinct. They tried to sound nice when they asked Agent 8 and Pearl about me. Agent 8 and Pearl could tell, they seemed pretty freaking awkward about it.
I eventually snapped out of looking for so long and coughed in my hand, soon looking down at the floor.
Agent 8 and Pearl looked at each other then looked at Acht.
“You good, Y/n?” I flinched a little and looked up at her robot. I nodded my without hesitation, knowing that my reaction before was enough to confirm her suspicions.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah Pearl, I’m fine. Promise.”
I wasn’t, and Pearl knew I wasn’t.
She just rolled her eyes, tapping her metal tentacle against my shoulder knowingly. As for Agent 8, she was just as confused as Acht.
And then suddenly, Pearl said loudly.
“HEY ACHT, Y/N THINKS YOU’RE SO FUCKING SEXY!”
“PEARL, WHAT’RE YOU DOING?! SHUT UP!”
What.
Acht just stood there, dumbfounded. Agent 8 watched the whole thing, naturally still confused by what was happening. For a while, it was silent in that elevator. That was... until Agent 8 said this very curiously.
“Is that true, Y/n? You think that Acht is um... ‘so fucking sexy?’”
“I...”
Oh God. I guess it’s out, huh? I just nodded my head, dropping to the floor. It was a little dramatic but seriously, I couldn’t handle it. They were just so hot. They’d probably look prettier if they weren’t sanitized. Anyway, they were just so pretty to look at.
Although, I think I freaked them out a little. They weren’t “omg panick” freaked out, though. They were like “What the fuck” freaked out and they had their mouth open a little to stare at me with disbelief.
“Are you serious?” Acht asked all of a sudden.
I nod my head for the third time, further making Acht stare at me like I grew a third head.
“Cute, isn’t it, Eight? I love ’Rina just like that but I’m not that dramatic about it, though.”
“Um, I guess it’s nice...?”
That whole elevator ride was just awkward silence after that.

Bonus!
“Were you for eel serious about that? Like, you think I’m sexy and stuff?” I nod my head.
For a while, Acht was still frozen in shock. After a while, they laughed to themself. “I’m honored to be your first love. That confession is a little... weird. In a good way, though.”
“And what about me? Do you... like me?”
“Yeah, you’re pretty cute.”
...
“HOLY SHIT! ACHT, CAN I **** YOU, PLEASE?! I WANT TO **** YOU SO BAD!”
“WHAT KIND OF!? HUH—?!”
“LMFAO I’M HOLLERING! Y/N, YOU’RE SO BOLD!”
“...What.”
